Recent Work

A landscape illustration

and I drew one of my friends!

Quick update:

I'm writing, illustrating, and designing a children's book of my own. I'm going to send postcards to publishers, but I will print and sell the book through Blurb if nothing happens. My goal is to have it finished in a year.

And I think I'm going to make a 30 second short film to learn Flash and After Affects. Thanks to classes on Skillshare and various online tutorials, I think I can learn it! Yay.

Description

Meaningful Gestures is the name of my blog because that is what I strive for in my artwork. In the dictionary, meaningful is listed as "Having a serious, important, or useful quality or purpose." Gestures can be physical motions, but the word also applies to quick, loose sketches that are usually referenced from life. In this way, my art has purpose and meaning, and takes inspiration from life and movement. I have an interest in animation and an understanding of action. These are things that I apply to my art.
